AGRICULTURE IN ENGLAND.

Mr.. De LAune has Wri ten a paper III the
0Farmcr's AImnnAC' for next year, of more
than passing interest to the agricultural
world. All farmers, we are told, are
agreed that they cannot go on as they are;
and Mr.. De Llune seems to be OF opinion
thar the true predicament of the agrcultu-
raj classes at the present moment is but
little understood by The general public and
only partially even by themselves. $50
me-" he says, Kit is terrible to dwell upon
the idea of the numbers and numbers OF
farmers who are at this moment living and
trading on borrowed capital, a small p0r-
tiOn of which they can never h pe to repay
unless SOhle change comes, aye, and comes
very quickly. | can realise and | believe
/ fully and truly feel for the man who
thinks, wishes, and believes he is honest,
who keeps trying to hold mp falling for
tunes aud to drive off that eventual day OF
bankruptcy; and it is because | have pic
tured to myself the SleepleSs nights, the
constant irritation of a man in such a posi-
fion, that | now shall speak with an I'M
sparing hand and give quarter to neither
friend nor foe.r If this is IL faithful portrait
of the average tenant-farmer, the public,
we bt lieve, have not as yet fully realised
the truth. The picture is certainly a very
painful one, more particularly If we allow
our HllHuS ~ uNclI OH tue CuHSCtIiouol
conception of the farmer, and then think
of him as he is here sketched, struggling
with crushing difficulties, living upon Dor
rOwed money, passing sleepless nights and
troubled days. and trembling at every post
that comes in. Unfortunately, this view
of his position derives but too much sup
port from another paper in the same Alma
nae, by Mr.. w. G. Little, on "Produce
and Prices )" and we only wish we could
see in the remedies proposed by Mr.. De
Laune any promise of such relief as would
prove of essential and permanent advan-
tage to those for whose benefit they are

CANADA AND THE WEST INDIES.
ENDEAvoUR TO OPEN UP TRADE

OTTAWA, Nov. 24.-Mr, Wylde, who
has been appointed Commissioner to represent
the Dominion in the West India Islands, had
q lengthy interview with the Minister Of
Finance to-day. From what can be learn
ed tonight, it is the intention Of the Gov
eminent to ask Parliament next session to
vote a subsidy to encourage the establish
ment Of a direct steam communication be-
tween Canada, Cuba, and such, other West
India Islands, as may offer a market for
the sale of Canadian products, and may
offer in return such articles of natural pro-
ducts as may be required by Canada.
Having failed to extend trade relations be-
tween Canada and Brazil, the Government
are now looking toward the West Indies
and Australia for markets for the surplus
stock held by Canadian manufacturers as a
result of over production. Up to a fewmonths
ago the Imperial Government have been
paying an annual subsidy to the Cunard
Company for running their steamers between
Halifax, Bermuda and Jamaica, but this
subsidy having been withdrawn, this i1npor-
tant service has been discontinued. At pres
ent the people of Canada have no direct
steam communication with the West Indies,
and q very large proportion Of freight going
there from the Dominion has to be first ship
ped to New York or some other American
port and from there forwarded to its des-
|tination. This state OF affairs, however,
is likely to be remedied as soon as Par
lament meets.-NORtl eal Daily Witness.

thousand tons, 1875.1886. But mutton nas
fallen off both in quantity and in value;
while the decline in wool has been some
thing enormous. The average annual val.
ne of the wool crop in the first period was
nearly twelve millions, while in the second
it was under seven. The quantity produced
has only declined by twelve and a half
per cent, but the price has fallen by fifty.
eight per cent.
Mr.. Little explains why, in the above
estimate, he has taken no notice of horses,
pigs, and dairy produce. The latter is
to some extent, accounted for, he thinks,
under the head Of cattle. But, altogether
he assumes that no appreciable difference
would have been made in the tables
to which we have referred by the introduc.
ton of these items. AT all events, it is
exceedingly improbable that they would
have affected i'll any material degree the
immense falling Oft In agricultural values
which he records, Mr.. Little admits the
possibility of some inaccuracies in his ia.
DleS, but not of such a nature as to modify
the general result or allay the apprehen-
sIons which it is calculated to excite in the
most Sanguine. Mr.. De Laune seems to-
think that the chief remedy is to be sought
III Il r,adjuStment of our fiscal system,
which, by cheapening some articles of en-
eral consumption, would enable q small
import duty to he levied on manufactured
articles and raw materials, reviving agri-
cultural prosperity without any hardship
TO the people. Unfortunately, the system
of Protective duties was so grossly abused
Ill former years that any revival of it is
altogether out of the question. Even Mr..
q. 5. Read acknowledges that, and aban-
dons all hope of curing the disease by this
prescription. Mr.. De Laune points also
TO the large profits made by cooperative
stores, and asks why the farmers cannot
take a hint from these, and carry their
pigs to Il better market. This is a practi-
cal question, undoubtedly; for it is pretty
clear from the cry which has been raised
i'll favour of selling meat by weight that
the farmers are conscious of being Outwit-
ted. Whether anything can make the
growth Of wheat in England once more q
profitable industry on a large scale appears
to be q very doubtful point. But the first
thing to be done is to arouse the nation at
large to a sense of the real nature of the
danger with which they are threatened
and we know nothing better calculated to
have this effect than the study Of Mr..
Little's paper. Other great industries
rave 1ouriShed and expired in this country
and there is no reason why Agriculture
should be an exception, if the conditions
necessary to its prosperity are permanent
~ withdrawn. 1t is not u disaster to be
contemplated with a light heart; and least
of all is it tOlerable that it should be
brought about through ignorance or indif-
ference.-StGndard.

The Sea Serpent.

II is hard for the public to give up the sea
serpent, particularly for that portion of the
puDhc living on the lake shore. Since
" Champlain" Murray dynamited the Bur
lington, sensation by declaring that the OBJ
lect seen near Juniper Island was nothing
put fock OF birds, protests and criticisms
nave been coming in from all quarters
The belief that Lake Champain really had
some terrible monster webbing around in
its waters, just ready to make a meal off
some plump citizen, had become matter
OF pride with many. Along the lake shore
there are those who have watched for that
serpent for years and years, and children
have grown up looking for the monster. II
was the spice of life in the Champlain val
ley and to have Mr.. Murray stand up and
declare with all his earnestness and elo-
quence that the supposed sea serpent is
nothing but flock of innocent little birds
is too heartless, and there isn't much worth
living for now we have no sea serpent. Ma
tives have written blood-curdling accounts
of the thing, and have sent urgent invita-
tons to absent friends to come up and see
him-or it, Guides have sung the serpent's
prases-when fishing was poor-until the
city sports were glad to go ashore and hide
Small boys have cried about 1t, secreted
their clothes and gone swimming lust the
same. Mr. Murray must be mistaken, and
Tor the good name and fame of Lake Cham
plain he should come out and say his glass
was out OF killer, 1t is mistake and the sea
serpent still lives and is just as awful and
hungry as he ever was.-,StCdnton Courier.

Chaille-De-Iaine are awfully scarce this
season. You may go to New York or Bos-
ton and have hard work to find them in
even the largest establishments.
These are, as you we'll know, of the verv
finest woods, with dainty figures printed.
Here is a dark cream ground with small
colored figure, garnet predominating.
Here is another of light cream, with figure
showing light green in contrast.
Still another in white, with blue figures
In fact, all shades of ground all combina-
lions of figures, and all just as pretty and
" Summary" as they can be.
We have nice line of them, 62Ic per yard,
thirty-one inches wide.
The Anderson Ginghams are known the
world over for beauty and durability.
We have the very cream of them and
would be pleased to show them to you.
They are in large broken plaids and small
checks.
They are thirty-two inches wide and cost
only 4Oc per yard.
For misses and children you know they
are perfect, you know also, how well they
wear and how perfectly they wash.
The sun cannot fade them, they are fast
colors and stand all sorts of hard usage.
The salt water will not affect them
therefore they are desirable for seashore
Pretty Shimmering Satines, thirty-five
different shades of them in plain solid
colors. Seventy-five different designs in
figured and combination.
Stripes, geometrical figures, dots, every
conceivable design in these lovely goods.
No wonder ladies like them. No wonder
they grow in favor.
If they get soiled they wash so beauti-
fully and come to you again just like new
We have an exhaustive line of them,
everything extant, thirty-one inches wide,
37hc per yard
Young ladies, don't forget our lovely
Opera Shades in Cashmere, that will be so
nice for your graduating dress.
We have everything you want, 75c per
yard, forty inches wide.
The best Cashmere in the country at this
price.
Another large invoice yesterday of those
elegant Trout Brook " shirtings. Gentle
men are just finding out how elegant they
are. We sold more of them this week than
we ever sold before in a month.
For sea-shore or country nothing can be
nicer.
Don't think they are something common,
for they are not, they are really elegant and
tony; the prettiest shifting ever made,
and will be a hard rival to the traditional
White Shirt.
The material is of the finest wool, in the
most delicate shadings.
Ia Correspondence solicited. Ladies
don't hesitate, but write us, and receive
any thing you may wish by return mail.
